Hi Ken,
Thank you again for your help. But I am absolutely new to both
outlook and not very good in c++ also. So I am still unable to proceed
ahead. I request you to please help me . I will tell you what I am
doing exactly.

I am using OOM 2003 and the application is C++ based with MFC support.
As you said, the MAPIOBJECT property is a hidden one and I was able to
see it in the VB macro editor that comes with outlook. But I am using
VC++ 6 and I was unable to view any hidden members using that. Also, I
am generating the header and implementation files for OOM using the
"class wizard- Add class from type library" (msoutl.olb) option of the
VC++ IDE. In the generated .h and .cpp files also, there was no
reference to the MAPIOBJECT property (or any other hidden properties
and methods). So when I tried to use the MAPIOBJECT property, i am
getting compiler error saying that the member is not found.
And the prototype of the RDOSession.Logon function is

void Logon(const VARIANT& ProfileName, const VARIANT& Password, const
VARIANT& ShowDialog, const VARIANT& NewSession, const VARIANT&
ParentWindowHandle, const VARIANT& NoMail);

So even here, I dont understand what parametrers to be passed. And this
is my college project and I desperately need to complete it. So Plzzz
help me. And if possible, please provide me with a code sample in
c++/MFC.
Thank you....

If Outlook is already running something like this works:

oSession.Logon "", "", False, False

NameSpace.MAPIOBJECT is there certainly for Outlook 2000 and later. I don't
have any earlier versions to check on running here. It's a hidden member
however of that object model. When the Object Browser is displayed
right-click somewhere in the list of properties, methods and events and
select Show Hidden Members to see it in the NameSpace object properties.

Hi Ken,
thank you very much for thr prompt reply. Now I understand that I need
to instantiate either MAPIUtils or the RDOSession object. But I din't
understand to wat to initialse them with. Redemption says :

There are several ways to log on to a MAPI session in RDO:

* set the RDOSession.MAPIOBJECT property to an instance of the
IMAPISession Extended MAPI object. IMAPISession can be retrieved either
through Extended MAPI using the MAPILogonEx function, Outlook Object
Model (Namespace.MAPIOBJECT property in Outlook 2002 and up) or CDO
1.21 (Session.MAPIOBJECT property)

* RDOSession.Logon method, which takes several parameters,
including the MAPI profile name (pass an empty string to use the
default MAPI profile)

But I am using Outlook2003 OOM and C++. And I din't find any
property named MAPIOBJECT in Namespace. Also the function
RDOSession.LogOn() expects arguments of the type VARIANT. So i will be
greatful to you if you please give me some code sample to logon to
RDOSession or initialise MAPIUtils.
Thank you again..
